Videojet claims maximum uptime ‘breakthrough’
Videojet Technologies is claiming ‘a breakthrough’ in maximum uptime for marking and coding operations with its new 1310 ink jet printer.
The unit is designed to start and stop without the need for cleaning. Its automated back-flushing nozzle minimises downtime by automatically cleaning itself at start up and shutdown, even after idle periods. Specially designed no-mess bottles guarantee ink and makeup fluid are fully deposited into the reservoir, eliminating waste.
“We spoke with our customers and then designed a printer that would address two of their biggest problems – frequent nozzle cleaning and the ease of start up/shut down. The Videojet 1310 runs longer without maintenance and is designed to be more tolerant of frequent stopping and starting than competitive products,” says Chuck Ravetto, a Director at Videojet Technologies.
To further increase uptime, the 1310’s heated print-head maintains proper ink viscosity, crucial for environments with frequent temperature changes. The machine has a built-in pump that allows it to quickly be moved from line to line. Electric print-head shut-off valves automatically shut down the printer cleanly, even in the event of a power outage, so it can print immediately when power is restored.
Eight new inks for the 1310 have been released in conjunction with the printer’s launch. These are manufactured for code durability on a wide variety of substrates, including metal, plastics, flexible films, glass containers and chipboard packaging.
